- Bachelor of Science
-
The BS degree in physics is traditionally taken by students
interested in a career in physics research in government or
industry, or in college- and university-level teaching and
research.
- BS Mathematical Physics Concentration
-
Students who are interested in theoretical physics and who have a
strong background in mathematics may consider applying for
admission to a variation on the B.S. in Physics, officially a
"B.S. in Physics with a Mathematical Physics Concentration."
- BS Biophysics Concentration
-
This new concentration offers ideal preparation for biological
research in physics graduate schools and industry, and is
appropriate for other graduate departments such as biology,
biophysics, and biomedical engineering, and as a medical
school track.
- BS Mathematics and Physics
-
In contrast to an applied mathematics degree or the B.S. in
Physics with a Mathematical Physics Concentration, this is a
synergistic, coherent, and parallel education in mathematics
and physics.
- Engineering Physics Major
-
This major allows students with strong interests in physics and
in engineering to concentrate their studies in areas common to
both of these disciplines. The B.S.E in Engineering Physics
provides the basic tools for solving practical problems. The
Engineering Physics major is appropriate for preparing students
to pursue careers in industry, either directly after
undergraduate studies or following graduate school in engineering
or physics.
- Bachelor of Arts
-
The B.A. degree in Physics is our most flexible degree program and
is particularly attractive to students who wish to combine a study
of physics with the pursuit of other interests. Often such
students complete a second major in the arts, humanities or the
social sciences.
- BA Teaching
-
The Ohio Department of Education has certified two different
programs for students who wish to teach physics at the high school
level. One of these programs leads to certification to teach
physics alone while the other leads to certification to teach both
physics and chemistry.
- Physics Minor
-
A minor in physics appeals to students who have an interest in
physics but intend to pursue a degree in some other field. If
this other field is a technical discipline, it is likely that it
already requires two or three of the courses needed for a
physics minor.
